What Pool is
Pool is a free iPhone app for people who take too many screenshots. It has a search for finding a screenshot you barely remember and albums it calls pools. It also does something few apps try: it looks for the original link behind a screenshot, like the shop selling a product or the post a recipe came from.
Where Pool stands on Android
- It's only on the App Store. Apple's listing says it's only for iPhone, and it needs iOS 18 or newer.
- There's a waitlist, with no date. Pool's website says it's coming to Android and takes email addresses to tell you when it lands.
- Watch out for lookalikes. Other apps have Pool in their name, and until Pool releases an Android app, an APK file claiming to be it isn't the real thing.
What you can use on Android today
- Google Photos can find words inside your pictures and has a Screenshots folder you can sort into albums.
- Pixel Screenshots collects your screenshots and lets you search them, but it's only on Pixel 9 and newer phones.
- Files by Google suggests old screenshots to clear out.
Photos and Files are general tools that do a little for screenshots, and Pixel Screenshots reaches only a few phones.
